More Grass and More Cattle.

About two years ago George w.
Hughes, then resident of this State,
imported nearly carload of alfalfa
grass seed from California to Arkan-
sas, where it was distributed among a
number of intelligent farmers. Some
inquiries brought out by the bales of
excellent alfalfa hay, exhibited by j.
E. B;scoe. Esq, at the Exp osition of
the Resources of Arkansas, convinces
us that we should say that Mr. Biscoe
is highly elated with the success
he has attained with this grass.
He says. for crops. in one year,
making in all four or six ten,
of first-class hay per annum, is good
enough for him. He grows it on first
class buck shot land. j. E. Cross,
sowed on sandy land, from seed OBJ
tanned of local house, which did not
give as good results H. L. Fletcher,
is very favoraHy impressed with the
plant. He says sow on buckshot land,
it is a marvellous success. It's only
enemy on other lands is crab grass.
This may be conquered by fall plow-
ing and sowing in February or March.
October is the best time to sow on
buckshot, or other lands not afflicted
with crab grass. More anon. NJ ne

other substance to be had in sufficient
quantity for bedding that has so much
absorbing capacity in proportion to
its weight as dry leaves from hard
wood trees. They are dry, light, east
ly scattered on the floors, do n lot tanele

so readily that they do not get credit

An Anxious Peanut Eater.

A citizen of Bagdad, Fla. passing
through "a neighbours peanut-field,
helped himself to some nuts that he
found here and there laid on the top of
stumps. After he had eaten his fill it
occurred TO him that the nuts might
have been poisoned and put on the
stumps to kill crows; and then he was
sure that he felt the poison stealing
through his system. He hurried home
and sent messenger to the owner of
the peanuts to ask if they were poison
ed, and while waiting for an answer
drank melted lard as an antidotc for
the poison. He had swallowed nearly
gallon, and was indeed feeling badly
when the messenger returned with the
information that the peanuts were all
right The citizen does not banker
after peanuts any more. N ]. Sun.

It is conceded in other lands that most OF
the wonderful discoveries OF the Woflu III
this century have come from this country.
Our ancestors were reared in log caolns'
and suffered hardships and trials ,.
But they lived and enjoyed n .,ss 10 To-, q
ripe old age The women OF those Gays
would endure hardship without apparent
fatigue that would startle those OF the pres
ent age.
Why was it!
One of the proprietors of the popular rem
edy known as Warmers safe cure, has oeen
faithfully investigating the cause, ana mas
called to his aid scientists as wen as uleu I.
cal men, impressing upon them the TACT
that there can not be an effect without
cause, This investigation disclosed the
fact that in the olden times simple remedies
were administered, compounded OF nerDs
and roots, which were gathered and stored
in the lofts Of the log cabins, and when
sickness came on, these remedies from
natures laboratory, were used Win Tue
best effects.
What were these remedies9 What were
they, used fora After untiring and dill
gent search they have obtained the Iormu-
las so generally used for various disorders.
Now the question is, how will the olden
time preparations affect the people OF this
age, who have been treated, under mod
ern medical schools and codes, with
poisonous and injurious drugs: ms y, test sa
convinced that the preparations they now
call Warmers Log Cabin Remedies are
what our much abused systems require:
Among them is what is known as War
ner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, and they
frankly announce that they do not consider
the Sarsaparilla of so much value in itself as
it is in the combination Of the various lngre-
| upon the system. They also have prepara-
lions for other diseases, such as Z" War
I.er's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
Remedy" clog Cabin Hops and Buchu
Remedy" "Warner's Log Cabin Scalpine'
for the hair. They have great confidence
! that they have cure for the common dis
ease Of eatarrh which they give the name OF Of
Cabin Plaster" which they are confident will
supplant all others, and Liver Pill, to be
used, separately or in connection with the
other remedies.
We hope that the public will not be dis
appointed in these remedies but will reap
| benefit from the investigations, and that
the proprietors will not be embarrassed in
their introduction by dealers trying to sub
stitute remedies that have been SO
| familiar to the shelves of our druggists.
This line of remedies will be used instead
of others. Insist upon your druggist getting
them for you if he hasn't them yet in stock,
and we feel confident that these new rene.
dies will receive appreciation at our readers
hands, as the founders have used every care
| in their preparation.

p,sTlLlAT,oN OF WOOD.
How Some Portions of New York's Forests
Are Now Being Utilized.

Are NOW bclHS OhbLOu'
A stock company Of Cadosia. N. T.,
has several establishments in that
vicinity for the distillation OF wood,
which has now become an extensive
and important industry.
Almost any of the harder varieties OF
wood will answer, but those chiefly
found and used by this company, in
the region it now occupies, are birch,
beech and maple. Pine, hemlock and
soft woods will not answer. The
general operations and products OF tho
company are as follows:
Contracts are made with the neigh
boring farmers for the purchase OF
standing wood. on which an agreed
amount is paid in advance, ba! ance
payable rs fast as the wood is cut by
The company. The wood is delivered
at the works in ordinary four-foot
lengths and is then piled in the
distillng rctorts, of which there
are in the Cadosia still-house
twenty-four pairs. These retorts
consist of cast iron, somewhat in the
form of a steam boiler, about ten feet
long and four and one-half feet in die
ameter having large manhole in one
end and condcnsing exit neck at the
other end. When a retort is filled with
wood the manhole is closed and
sealed; slow fire is then started un-
der the retort. The first products Of
the distillation, consisting of alcoholic
vapors are pressed through condens-
ing worm, and the liquid thus pro.
duced is subsequently redistilled, and
the product then sold. Most of it goes
to Bingham'on, N. Y, where it is re-
fined and put on the market as wood
alcohol.
The second products of the distilla.
lion, consisting of acetic vapors, are
condensed as before described, and
the liquid is mixed with lime. thor
ough mixture being effected by me-
chanical means, thus producing
acetate of lime-used in cloth-printing
works. The crude acetate is placed
above the retorts on racks, where it is
dried, and is then ready for market.
The third products of the distilla-
ton, consisting of tary matters and
naphthas, are shipped as produced.
and subsequently refined.
The last products, consisting OF
heavy tars, are used at the works as
fuel. When the distillation is finished
there remains within the retorts mass
of clean and beautiful charcoal, ready
for market, and all of it is sold to the
steel makers. Most of it goes to Troy,
N. Y, where it is chiefly used in the
production of fine steel
The principal fuel used in these
works is bituminous coal, which. to-
gether with the crude lime required,
is brought to the works by railway.
We are indebted to correspondent
who resides in the vicinity for these
particulars, which are only intended
to convey a very general idea of the
mode in which some portions of the
forests in Delaware County, N. Y, are
now being utilized.
The tanning of leather has been and
still is a leading industry in this
region. This involves the use of large
quantities of bark, the trunks of the
trees being sawed up and converted

Open the dralghts, touch a match to
the paper. and as soon rs it and the
kindlings are fairly ignited pour ON

wait to do this until the wood is all
